Why I Like Poetry

The beautiful thing about words is

they take on their true meaning

when we need them most.

No other time than when the words

fill and spill onto that page

have they arranged in the same

staged way in my mind.

Once out in the world, they're ready,

awaiting the perfect, inevitable timing

for someone to find their silver lining,

and mould their own meaning

to each sentence's syncopated syllables.

So read away.

Take what you need today.
